Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Thermus thermophilus is an extremely thermophilic bacterium that is widely used as a model thermophile, in large part due to its amenability to genetic manipulation. Here we describe a system for the introduction of genomic point mutations or deletions using a counterselectable marker consisting of a conditionally lethal mutant allele of pheS encoding the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase α-subunit. Mutant...
